 I really feel like I'm in for some amazing quality stuff here. Hey guys! Now I've been really looking forward to this video because I am finally going to be trying what is known as probably the world's most famous puzzle brand. I am finally going to open and try out my very first Robinsburger puzzle. Hit that like button if you're a fan of Robinsburger puzzles. And let me know down below what's your favorite thing about them. Or your least favorite, whichever. Now I've actually collected a number of sets over the last few months and most of them are actually from the Disney villainous collection. And to be honest recently I have been like really itching for a Disney puzzle but I figured it's been kind of a rough week and I think I kind of need to take a little trip somewhere. So our puzzle today is called Paris Impressions. It is 1,000 pieces and it is 27 by 20 inches when it's completed. Now this particular set does come in one of their larger boxes. I've seen other Robinsburger sets that come in the smaller ones and I have some of those. But this is a really nice solid looking box and on the back of it it does give you some information about Robinsburger. And this brand is actually from Robinsburg, Germany and they've been making puzzles since 1891. So yeah I think these guys know what they're doing in terms of making puzzles. The box also says that these puzzles are a premium puzzle with soft click technology which guarantees a 100% interlocking mechanism for the world's most optimal fit. And this is supposed to result in a very smooth puzzle once you've completed it. Which is something I'm really looking forward to experiencing once I've completed this one. I kind of just can't wait to kind of rub my hand across the puzzle like I always do and see how smooth it really is. Now judging from the looks of this box and the fact that many of you highly recommend this brand, I really feel like I'm in for some amazing quality stuff here. This puzzle experience is going to be very interesting. Now aside from the fact that I'm in for some very good stuff here, I mean take a look at this image. I'm sure that if you've been watching my videos for a while now, you know what's going to happen, right? You know what's up, right? I'm on vacation. I've finally taken my trip to Paris, France. This image here is the view from my window from my Airbnb. I'm feeling a bit hungry, so I thought I'd take a peek outside my window and see how busy the outdoor cafe was. It's looking like a pretty quiet night. I'll probably just step down there for a bit and have something to eat. And then afterwards I could just stop by the pâtisserie for a little dessert. Maybe I'll even take a nice little walk down this little street here and just enjoy the sunset with the Eiffel Tower in the background. It's such a quiet night. Who wouldn't? I seriously need to go visit Paris. Especially so that I can try out all the wonderful food. I hear they got good coffee, too. But anyways, in terms of completion process with this set, I've actually been looking at this for a while, and I honestly don't feel like this is going to be extremely hard. We've got some pretty straightforward details here that I feel like I can sort pretty easily. For example, I can probably do a tray for the buildings, the cafe-seeing area, the road, the sky. I feel like this is going to be pretty straightforward. But then again, who knows? I might end up pulling my hair throughout this process. I don't know. But I feel like this is going to be a really fun one to do. This image is really calling me to jump inside. So I am feeling really excited on getting this one done. And who knows? Hopefully this is something that I could probably store quite easily so that if I ever decide to glue it or frame it or something, I could just quickly put it together and just hang it up because this is such a beautiful image. I really love the look of this little part of town. I feel like after I've taken my walk down to admire the sunset, I'll come and sit at this little table and maybe just have me a late night cup of coffee. I don't know. I love doing things out of the norm for me when I'm on vacation. But yeah, I honestly don't feel like this is going to be extremely hard to complete, even with being a thousand pieces. I can't really predict how long this may take me. I could give you a low number because it looks easy in general, but it might end up being five times the amount. I don't know. But what I will say is that I am super excited to complete this one. So let's open this up and let's get started. All right, let's finally get this one open. Now this one has clear wrap on it. So let's get that off first. All right, let's open this one up. No poster. That's all right. Hopefully the puzzly experience makes up for the lack of poster. But so far from what I am seeing, oh boy. And I think I've heard most of you say this as well, but this has quite a bit of puzzle dust in it. I like how they have printed on the bag multiple times at its premium puzzle. But maybe they do that so you can kind of get distracted from all the dust that's in here. That's quite a lot. Even the box inside has quite a bit of loose puzzle dust. How did that get in there? Oh, I see. There's a little hole in here. Now I'm a little nervous about putting all this blue puzzle dust on my puzzle table. So I think I'm just going to empty this bag into the box. I think that will be a better idea. All right, let's open this one up. There's still quite a bit of dust left in the bag. But you know what? I'm still glad that I emptied it out in here because I'm pretty sure it's all down in here into the bottom. Oh, yeah, there it is. It's all settled. Anyways, let's take a look at these pieces here. Oh, this feels very different. This feels nice. We got a nice thickness to these pieces, too. Oh, this is a nice solid piece here. This is nice and strong. I really like that blue back to it. That's pretty. These puzzle pieces are also a really nice size, too. You can really see a lot of detail within the piece. The color is very vibrant and the print is excellent. This is really good stuff. In terms of glare, it's kind of hard to say. I am getting quite a bit of a reflection of light from my window here, but I don't think I'm really gonna know much about glare until I start completing this puzzle and seeing how good or bad it is during certain times of the day in regards to the lighting outside and the garbage lighting I have in my room. But again, as I said before, I am still working on that. Now, the box itself doesn't really stay anything about anything special regarding the shape of the pieces. So I'm thinking this is kind of like your traditional shapes. So it doesn't look like they carry anything with random cut pieces or unique shapes or anything like that. So that's probably gonna also help me in terms of completion process as well, because it's gonna be a little bit more simple than, let's say, for example, a dowel puzzle with their random cut shape pieces. So this is gonna be fun. But anyways, guys, I'm super excited about getting this one started and finally feeling that smooth finish. So let's get started. Okay, does this ever happen to you? I go in with a plan on how I'm gonna go about sorting it. And then once you get in there, you look at everything and then you kind of just go blank and have no idea what you're looking at. Then it feels like it's a complete shambles. But anyways, after it was all said and done, here is how I ended up sorting my trays. First tray were the edge pieces, of course. The second tray had pieces for the sky. Third tray had trees and flowers. Fourth tray kind of had like particular details like the chairs, the wine, stall, the lamp post and such. The fifth tray had pieces for the buildings that were mainly located from the left side of the puzzle image to the middle. Sixth tray had the buildings from the right side of the image. Seventh tray had pieces that looked to be from the stone or the ground. And the eighth tray basically had just the random pieces that I had no clue where they belonged. So after that was done, I was really hoping that it was gonna work. Because as I scanned through more and more of the pieces, I realized how challenging this puzzle was probably gonna be. All right, now I'm a little confused. But as I was completing this puzzle, even at the beginning, I felt like the fit was loose. And the reason why I say this is because I would put pieces in place and they would just pop up sometimes either when I was moving a section or like I said, even just trying to put a piece in place, they were popping out. And even small sections of the image that I completed were actually lifting off the table. I had to press it down a few times to get it flat. Dare I say, it even reminded me of a Seco puzzle with the difference being that the pieces for the Robinsburger is a much better quality. But still, this kind of took away from the experience. I honestly expected better, but maybe it was just my particular set or how it was cut in production. But in regards to the soft click technology that this has, with my experience, I didn't really hear a soft click or feel a soft click. I don't know if I meant to feel anything at all. The pieces did fit really well together, but it just didn't feel like a good fitted fit, if that makes sense. I know sometimes I say that and I'm hoping you can understand what I'm getting at. But honestly, I was a little let down by this. And maybe it's because my previous experience was with the Pintu puzzle and maybe that just spoiled me in terms of loud snaps and awesome fit. I don't know, but you guys are really gonna have to fill me in on this one because I'm not sure if this tends to be a common thing with this brand or if it happens on and off. Please let me know down below, what has been your overall experience with Ravensburger? Am I crazy? Did I just get a bad set? Is this typical? Now because of this, I'm really not sure if I'm gonna be able to store this puzzle the way I usually store them. I kind of almost feel like it's just gonna fall to pieces and crumble if I even try to do that. But I don't know, I'll keep you posted when I do the lifting or standing test on this puzzle. I'm not sure how this is gonna hold together, honestly. Now, first thing I'll say is that while I was sorting, I did not find a single damaged piece and that's only ever happened to me with the Pintu puzzles, which are plastic. And these pieces really do have a smooth finish on them. And as I would brush my hand across completed sections, it would feel really satisfying. And because of that nice thickness to them, they're very sturdy and the print is excellent. It was clear, the colors were very vibrant and in terms of glare, it really wasn't too bad which was surprising to me. Now the artwork on this image is absolutely beautiful and I was super motivated to finish it. And it also did make for a great challenge. It really had a great mix of areas that were pretty clear and easy to put together and also areas that were pretty difficult. For example, the grounds which was like the paid stone, that took me a while because it had a lot of different colors that kind of blended into each other. Well, at least to me it was challenging. But overall, most of the buildings were pretty easy and surprisingly I found the sky and the trees to be very easy as well, which is not at all typical for me. This puzzle took me about seven and a half hours to complete. Overall, aside from the fit issues, this puzzle was fun. I just wish that I had an easier time piecing it together. And really to me it's a pretty major factor when it comes to the overall puzzle experience. I'm hoping that the next set that I try from Ravensburger will be different and hopefully for the better. Well, now I can finally take my stroll through the streets of Paris and start thinking about which Ravensburger set I'm going to try next. Now, just so you know, I'm not gonna let this experience solidify my overall feelings about this brand. I really do have to try at least a few more sets in order to finalize my overall opinions of Ravensburger. And I also want to hear more about your own experiences with this brand.
